the dragon who liked to spit fire

there's something about castles and dragons that immediately evokes a feeling of childhood imaginings for me. this book is really the embodiment of such childhood fantasies. there's also great merit to creatures that should be frightening, such as a fire spitting dragon, that are personalized into little cuddly BFFs. i used to have a dragon ring (high school-ish) that i would fantasize could come alive and live in my pocket and light my cigarettes (thank god i'm no longer a smoker...and i no longer fancy dragon rings). guess the fantasy lasted a long time for me :)

I loved this book so much as a child that I named my 1st son Darius, just like the dragon! He was before I heard of the football player or the singer. I'm hoping my librarian sister can get me a copy! Jan Leitzke Helena, MT

If the Judy Varga that wrote this book also wrote 'Gremlins At Work', we are the family of the norwegian lawyer and Spitfire pilot, Bernt Barge, that she was engaged to when he his Spitfire failed over Norfolk, England in may of 1943. Does anyone know more about Judy Varga's life story?
